Twitch viewers exasperated as 'topless' meta becomes 'implied nudity' meta

Twitch users are appalled by the new "implied nudity" meta

As further proof people will do just about anything for internet clout, Twitch streamers are now using censor bars to make it look like they're naked on stream.

Twitch streaming tends to be a rat race when it comes to video content. All creators will do whatever is necessary to boost views, donations, and bring in sponsorship deals.

Have you seen GAMINGbible’s greatest games of 2023 list? If not you can check it out below.

One of the most famous examples was streamers talking to their viewership from a hot tub, sometimes substituted for a paddling pool.

The latest “meta” revolves around looking naked on stream. While full-on nudity is not allowed by any means, Twitch recently started allowing “artistic nudity,” which is to say you look like you're in your birthday suit, but there’s no actual proof that you are.

After several streamers took that idea too far, Twitch did a u-turn on its decision, but now content creators have found a new way to circumvent the rules and rake in those sweet, sweet views. Their solution? Artificial censor bars.

Earlier this week, a picture of the streamer FireDancer was shared on Twitter, showing her live on the streaming platform with two black censor bars covering her chest and lower body, giving the impression that she had no clothes on. Once other content creators saw this there was a mad dash to replicate the strategy, so now Twitch is full of streamers trying to achieve the same scantily dressed success.

One Twitter user, @HUN2R, shared several screenshots of streamers giving the new meta a try.

At the time of writing, Twitch is yet to make any official statement regarding the censorship, and whether it’ll be adjusting its rules further to ensure all streamers are wearing a suitable amount of clothing when they go live.
